Advent One: Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
The liturgical year has closed and a new year dawns with Advent, as we, laden with sorrow and suffering within and without, long for healing and restoration, for justice, for wholeness, for peace.
Isaiah 35, (read here from the Message), points to a promise of life, of blossoming and singing and joy. It invites us to dare to hope, in the bleakest of places.
Come, thou long-expected Jesus
Born to set thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Advent blessings and much love,
Lissy

Hi Lissy, this was a pleasant surprise this morning as I didn’t receive this update in an email.
Just a comment about the beginning and ending …. I think you’re speaking but it is very difficult to hear you with the music. It gets better around 2 minutes in.
Blessings to you and your loved ones, dear Lissy.
Following closely this advent.
